Join us the day before the OGRAIN 2020 CONFERENCE FOR AN IN-depth
DISCUSSION OF ORGANIC REDUCED TILLAGE AND INTENSIVE COVER CROP
PRACTICES! In this preconference session we will summarize the body of
research regarding organic no- and reduced-tillage. We will hear from
farmers who have successfully implemented and pushed the envelope
regarding reduced tillage strategies on their farms (and some failures
as well!). Equipment, cover crop selection and production, and
rotation strategies will be covered, among other topics of interest to
the group. The event will be held from 3:00 pm 9 pm on THURSDAY
JANUARY 23, 2020. Dinner and a cash bar will be available from 5:30 7
pm. Space is limited, so register early! This registration is separate
from the general OGRAIN CONFERENCE, but we encourage everyone to also
register for the OGRAIN 2-day conference. Cost to attend the THURSDAY
PRECONFERENCE IS $20, which includes the program and a meal. A cash
bar will be available. Sorry, there will be no walk-ins,
preregistration is required. This event will be held at The University
